'''Diablerie''' is the heinous act of consuming a fellow [[vampire]] completely, down to the victim's very soul. The act of diablerie can increase a character's [[Blood Potency]] and grant them access to powers and [[Discipline]]s known to the victim, but at a terrible cost to the character's [[Humanity]]. Diablerie leaves characteristic black veins on the aura of a [[Kindred]] observed through the [[Auspex]] [[Discipline]]. A Kindred who commits diablerie is called as diablerist.

Diablerists generally perform such an act for one of two reasons - to gain in power by raising their [[Blood Potency]] or because they are addicted. The former tends to be more careful when choosing victims, as diablerie must be performed on vampires in [[Torpor]]; nothing is as attractive to power-hungry neonates as the rumors of an elder in torpor. However, it is not unknown for a diablerist to beat their victim into torpor themselves before performing the act.

While the benefits of performing diablerie are many, among them increased Blood Potency and the chance of gaining new skill in [[Discipline]], the drawbacks are considerable - the diablerist's [[Humanity]] automatically sinks, and black veins dot their aura for a number of years equal to the victim's Blood Potency, making them walking targets for [[Auspex]] users. Most are careful not to be seen.

Diablerie is addictive the same way that vitae is addictive, especially to elders (who usually must drink vampire blood just to survive). Diablerie-addicted elders are feared by many a vampire.

Diablerie is also known by the older term, '''Amaranth'''. Notably, Amaranth is the Third [[Kindred]] [[Traditions]], after the Tradition of [[Masquerade]] and the Tradition of [[Progeny]]. The traditional wording of this commandment is: "''You are forbidden from devouring the heartsblood of another of your kind. If you violate this commandment, the [[Beast]] calls to your own blood.''"

Amaranth is the old form of what the Kindred now call diablerie. It refers to an ancient practice of giving an [[Wikipedia:amaranth|amaranth]] (a flower) to the victim-to-be.
